    At what point will you stop optimizing for the number of dead children? Why not keep them in a padded room with some electrical impulses to stimulate their muscles as needed, while…

    Arrest gives them legal authority to search the person of the accused and find evidence of other crime. Perhaps they will find something that leads to a felony and authorization to…

    It's nice San Francisco has such compassion for violent criminals and mentally ill homeless that their dreams can truly flourish there. Perhaps there is merit to the idea that stab…

    People eligible for EITC rarely are handling stacks of 1099 and business transactions. We're talking about single mom with a couple part time jobs with a W-2 territory. The idea th…

    Coffee machines usually don't phone home and the good La Marzocco machines are worth as much as a new car. It's quite a liquid market. Furthermore parting them out is highly profit…

    That threshold has not always been there. Used to be 20k, but they had to lower it to catch the billionaires. https://www.wolterskluwer.com/en/expert-insights/irs-delays-...

    Yeah this reminds me of a thought experiment with Ethereum virtual machines. If someone writes and produces the code for tornado cash, publishes it on the internet as free speech b…

    Well at some point it doesn't matter if it's worth it. Going from lots of money to not much is a recipe for divorce. Of course if you're divorced for any reason, the judge will imp…
